A job opportunities campaign for job seekers asks the question: What If?...

A new campaign asks the question: “What if… your dream job looks different than you think? And you could switch to a profession that’s in high demand?” The “What If” campaign encourages job seekers to switch to professions with better job prospects. The campaign will run through the end of this year in the South Holland Central labor market region (Lansingerland, Leidschendam-Voorburg, Pijnacker-Nootdorp, Voorschoten, Wassenaar, and Zoetermeer).

"What If" Campaign Inspires Job Seekers and Employers Alike

The “What If” campaign was developed by the South Holland Central Employer Service Center (WSP ZHC) to encourage job seekers to put their talents to use in a job they haven’t yet considered. The campaign focuses on the stories of people who have made the switch and found their new dream job in a different profession. The campaign also calls on employers to be open to new talent: highly motivated and capable individuals who are well-suited to fill job openings, even if they come from a different background.

Five Sectors with Many Job Openings

There are currently many job openings and opportunities in the environmental sector, healthcare, transportation and logistics, construction and engineering, and retail. At the same time, many people are losing their jobs due to the COVID-19 crisis, and it’s not always easy to find other work. In 2020, the number of job openings in Central South Holland fell by 13.5%. Now more than ever, it may be important to look beyond your own profession. Even people who are currently employed are welcome to apply.

Guidance, retraining, and continuing education

When transitioning to a new job, a person’s experience or educational background is of secondary importance. It is much more important that they have the right motivation and talents. The Zuid-Holland Centraal Employer Service Center and the municipalities in the region offer job seekers guidance in finding a new career, connect them with employers, and provide opportunities for retraining and continuing education.
